Join the Friends of Largo Bay for a two-day community festival, shining a light on conservation in their coastal backyard.
The event is part of the celebrations for World Environment and World Oceans Day which take place 6-7 June.
Come along to meet the organisations caring for Largo Bay and the Firth of Forth for shared learning, fun, and collaboration, and celebrate the launch of the Community Triptych.
What's on?
Across the weekend you can expect citizen science, creative workshops, demonstrations, talks and Q&As, sea shanties, and film screenings.
Three films will be shown across the weekend, with specific screening times to be announced:
- Shooting Animals: Libby Penman's film will be screened on Saturday evening. They hope that Libby will be joining them in person for a Q&A session following the screening.
- A Line in the Sound: Cal Major's film will be shown across both days, with the final screening taking place on Sunday, followed by a Q&A session with Sean Flynn of Blue Marine Foundation.
- The Scottish Wildlife Trust film Oceans of Value will also be screened across the weekend.
A Sea Shanty Workshop will take place on the Saturday, 11.00am - 12.00pm, led by Joss Cameron. Delve into the history of sea shanties and learn a few yourself - all are welcome!
The free OurSeas Coastal Testimonies exhibition will run 1-30 June at The Aurrie Mor, Lower Largo. The exhibition celebrates coastal voices and stories from around Scotland's shores.
